Anyone help me...

I am using the version for the windows dmd v 2.066
to last I believe.

tried to use wstring in my terminal and see what happened.

    wstring name;
    write("wstring - write a name: ");
    //readf("%s\n", &name);
    name =  cast(wstring)chomp(readln());
    //name =  to!wstring(chomp(readln()));// with accent runtime
error utf
    writeln("name  length - ",name.length," - ",name);
    string namec = cast(string)name;//
   // string namec = to!string(name);
    writeln("namec length - ",namec.length," - ", namec);
    writeln("you write: ",namec," ok.");

   wstring - write a name: cassio
   name  length - 3 - µàúþì│µ¢®
   namec length - 6 - cassio
   you write: cassio ok.

or this

    wstring name;
    write("wstring - write a name: ");
    readf("%s\n", &name);
    //name =  cast(wstring)chomp(readln());
    //name =  to!wstring(chomp(readln()));// with accent runtime
error utf
    writeln("name  length - ",name.length," - ",name);
    string namec = cast(string)name;//
   // string namec = to!string(name);
    writeln("namec length - ",namec.length," - ", namec);
    writeln("you write: ",namec," ok.");


   wstring - write a name: cassio
   name  length - 6 - cassio
   namec length - 12 - c a s s i o
   you write: c a s s i o  ok.


very strange do not you think?
I tried several times changing conversions to cast. to! ...
question what I'm doing wrong?

sorry English is not my official language.

aguem  pode me ajudar?
estou usando a versão para win do dmd v 2.066 a ultima creio eu.
tentei usar  wstring no meu terminal e veja o que aconteceu.
muito estranho não acha?
tentei varias vezes mudando as conversões de cast para . to! ...
pergunta  o que estou fazendo de errado?
desculpe-me  ingles não e minha lingua oficial.

This line is incorrect. You are telling the compiler to interpret an UTF-8 byte stream as if it was UTF-16.

This line is correct. If you are getting an UTF exception, that means that your terminal is not configured to use UTF-8. Your accent characters are probably encoded as an ASCII encoding, not UTF-8.

I see you're posting from a Windows machine. On Windows, to switch the terminal to UTF-8, type this command first:

chcp 65001

You can do this programmatically in your D program using SetConsoleCP and SetConsoleOutputCP. Note, though, that doing so can affect execution of your program from Windows batch files.

Thank you for answering me so fast, I'm happy.
I'll set the output of my terminal, and redo some tests.
